On Saturday night, I instagrammed and tweeted a photo of a pavlova I had made for a dinner party. As you can tell, it was a rush job because I didn’t even have time to lay a sheet as a backdrop, I used my carpet for gods sake. In any case, the response was phenomenal with lots of people giving me compliments for my little bake-job, and also asking for the recipe. *blush*

Well, it’s not a new recipe. It’s a tried and tested (many times) oldie, so I know it works

The recipe is on an older blog post here. Enjoy!

Well, I must be feeling better if I’m making ice cream sandwiches. And I am. Thanks for all the well wishes from the previous post. In a nutshell, I’m much much better, still a little sore but I can now talk, and most importantly, I can eat. Huzzah!

Now, because I am supremely organised (what, you didn’t know that about me? Haven’t read my About page? I need to update that actually…), I made a bunch of recuperative food before I went into surgery, namely the pork & daikon soup and on doctors orders (no joke), some ice cream. Cookies & cream, to be precise.

For a bit of fun, I’ve also made a few little ice cream sandwiches.

A couple of weeks ago, I had a hankering for lychee sorbet. An absolute hankering. And so at about 11pm on a Saturday night, after I’d already showered and put on home clothes (you know the ones; old, soft, comfortable, holey) I got dressed and walked into Newtown with a bee-line for Gelatomassi.

But when I arrived, they told me they didn’t make any lychee sorbet that day.

Big Sad Face.

We have been to a – ‘scuse my French – butt load of BBQs lately. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining. I mean we moved all the way back to Australia just for BBQs right? Well, that plus the sunshine plus the beach. But since the weather hasn’t always been playing ball this season, the only guaranteed summer activity has pretty much been BBQs.

Which is all good and well until you run out of ideas for what to bring.

Peanut butter. There are few things in life that peanut butter can’t fix, and when it comes as an ice cream, it is pretty much the most indestructible form of cheer-me-up goodness on this planet.

And I have been needing some cheering up lately, but that’s for another post.
